I'm so glad that Malaysia won the Junior Asia Cup Hockey this edition by defeating Pakistan 2-1. The match is so intense because Pakistan took control the game at the second half and started to look great after scoring their goal. Luckily, Malaysia defenders manage to handle the pressure and a brilliant performance by Malaysian keeper denying many Pakistan chances.
Malaysia was once manage to be in the final of this tournament before against the same opponent, Pakistan 20 years ago. However Malaysia lose on that edition which was also held in Malaysia but in Kuala Lumpur. The captain of that squad 20 years ago is now the manager of the current squad playing tonight. Congratulation to them. Great investment for the youth squad after disappointing come out by the senior squad. I hope this is not the end I hope this will be the start of a bigger future.
